Hi, I am currently a HS junior and I'm just starting to think about college. I've narrowed my choices of major down to engineering, physics or even math... what schools should i look at? here's my "stats" if it helps... gpa- 3.5/4 act's- english- 30 reading- 28 math- 36 science- 36 as...

two stars, A and B, are in circular orbit of radii r1 and r2, respectively, about their common center of mass. each star has the same period of revolution T. Determine expressions for the following two quantities in terms of the stars' masses, radii and T. 1- the moment of inertia of the...

not necessarily much more... if the differnce in electronegativity is too high the bond is likely ionic but within covalent bonds polar covalent bonds is basically "unfair sharing" while in ionic bonds there's no sharing. a c-h bond is polar covalent but not that polar. but a H-F bond is prolly...

i'm roughly 10^1.235 years old. :approve:

hmm.. I'm a HS senior and considering going to school in Canada. this is interesting. since there are so many people from Canada that are reading this thread I'm just going to throw this out there: would it be that hard for me be able to get into Canada if i just want to study? and what are some...

or even with more than just two main ones... i mean for ex. this time around a lot of people including me felt that both the candidates sucked ass. anyways, no political parties would mean that people would actually think about what each candidate stands for and not just vote blindly along party...

absolute dehumanization is the only solution. homo sapiens are one screwed up species.

U.S. TEENAGE PREGNANCY RATE DROPS FOR 10TH STRAIGHT YEAR; study by institute finds 75% of the decline was due to more effective contraceptive practices. a) just like some have already said, the problem is not with teaching abstinence but with teaching ONLY abstinence. and contrary to public...

lol, no prob... sweet dreams. :-p anyone else??

isn't I times alpha equal to the torque? anyways, should i integrate 6t= I times alpha? sorry if I'm a liittle slow catching on to this cos we've never done this in class.

cool. the reason it was taking me so long was that i failed to register that the force was constant (stupid me!). anyways, thanks a lot for the help hypermorphism and prasanna. :wink: one last question: for the second part that says "calculate the same quantities as above if instead the...

/k. A disk of mass 15 kg and radius 25 cm is rotating initially at 20 rad/s. A constant force of 40 N is applied tangentially to it's edge, positively accelerating the disk. a) At t= 5 seconds, calculate the- 1) rotational velocity of the disk 2) the instantaneous power supplied to...

I guess all of you are going to die

i don't think we can discriminate when it comes to voting rights just because of intelligence. i won't be surprised if this kind of disenfranchisement has already been proven unconstitutional. no matter how stupid they are, everyone should have the right to vote cos our aim is to because...

ok i am totally against this. just today i was having an argument with a kid in my adanced computer app. class and he told me the only way the universe could be explained is by intelligent design, i.e., accepting that there's a "god" or a "creator". he says that intelligent design explains how...
